SONG OF THE REJECTED.

I vii, no longer sue my Sue.
My suit Is spurned and oft denied.
The same slim prude is lovely Prue,
And Moliie is unmollified.
Della no more with me will deal.
Although she holds my heart in snare,
L can not make Ophelia feel
The darts that she has planted there.
Mable I'm able to be free
From you, no more 1 am your slave,
And Grace. unless you smile on me,
shall go grace,ess to the grave.
NV Flora heart will not o'erflow
To my half-crazed appeals ut all;
And Minnie's most emphatic NO
1t strikes me like mimic ball
And although Dora adore.
Yet she for me will never care;
Though Cora pierced my bosom's core,
She will not heed my suppliant prayer.
And Maud is modest when I'm near,
My presence she can not abide;
And in regard to Clara. dear,
My mind is still unclarified.
And Winnie can never win.
And Carries heart won't carry me;
And Mary, though with constant din
Iplead, viii never marry me.

MAKING PLAY OF WORK.
A Practical Way Of Teaching Children 3
he Neat and Orderly.

he Neat and Orderly.
Did you ever hit on this way to get y
cluttered sitting-roOm put to rights by
the very folks who have brought about
in it chaos itself? The children think
it great fun to Overturn chairs and
hang rugs on them for tent doors; tn
strew the carpet with playthings and
snippings of paper; to drop books, pic
ture cards, building blocks and dolly
and her wardrobe. just where the new
est tack of their latest play left them;
but it is not always fun, either for you
or them. to get all this litter and clut-
ter picked up and cleared away.
OF late we have made little game
of such work by giving each child 50
many breadths Of the carpet, and al:
that might be upon them. to put in per-
feet order. There are five breadths in
our sitting-room carpet, and ut such 4
"corner" in the disorterly state of the
room / give two breadths-nOt cOnsec-
utive lengths-tO each of the two older
children. and the fifth breadth to the
little three-years-old, choosing for her
the strip of carpet that has the least
litter upon it. When little children
have keen interest in such work, it is
surprising how swiftly and deity they
will straighten rugs. fold papers, pick
up shreds and litter and pack away
playthings.
From end to end Of their carpet
breadths our small people go-setting
back chairs, making neat piles of the
scattered books and papers that clutter
the tables and shelves. winding the
struggling threads in mammals spool
and yarn baskets if they chance to be
on their territory, winging the hearth.

with her sewing or mending all through
q long afternoon while her room is al
ternately being put in and then put out
of order. only she must be wise enough
to plan that the former comes last on
the programme before their supper or
bedtime hour comes.
The children are so quick to notice
and herald each others oversights and
any slovenliness in this play-work of
clearing sections of the room, that l
have little need to call their attention
to any article or scrap left out of place.
Even the baby will trot across the
room to provokingly point to a wrink-
led rug or an overlooked toy on strip
of her little sisters territory. and
grsvely say: '.See thereH' If chair

NOTES AND CONTENTS

The House of Representatives has
this week almost un aninously pass
ed the Constitutional amendment to
submit to the people Of the State
the question of Uaking Tennessee a
prohibition State.
We have before stated the bad
effect the passing of such a measure
would have On the future of Rugby
and the Cumberland Plateau, where
after years spent in experiments,
success in viticuture is almost as
snred, and we trust every one will
not only vote against it, but use all
their influence in inducing others to
do the same.

A visit TO DR.. Green's laboratory, at

piejudiees in regard TO what are gener-
ally known as STANDARD Patent Medi-
cines." OF course we are getting 10 that

physician had the curiosity to know
how such sale Of two medical prepare
tons could be sustained for so many
years. The perfect system upon which
the business is conducted, and the
pharmaceutical arrangements for the
manufacture of the two recipes with
which we were made acquainted, are
sufficiently convincing TO us that the
AUGUST FLOWER, for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaints, and BosCHEE's GER
MAN SYRUP, for Throat and Lung
Troubles, were for the complaints they
are recommended, most excellent RENE
dies, and only regret that in much OF
our practice, medical ethics prevent us
from prescribing them without making
the formulas public. When we were
shown the great quantity of voluntary
letters having been forwarded Dr..
Green, from all parts of the country
and from all classes of people, lawyers,
ministers and doctors, giving descrip-
ton Of their ailments, testimonials of
their cures, etc., l feel like endorsing

ment accept such valuable formulas,

Making a Mouth for a Baby.

No little interest was displayed by
the physicians at the Emergency Hos
pital over little stranger who came into
the world there last week. The infant
a boy, had not the faintest sign OF
mouth, the cheeks being united by a
streak of white flesh. The physicians
determined to supply natures defect,
and after treating the surrounding flesh
with cOcoaine, made an inCision. On in
sorting probe between the jawbones,
and finding no obstacle they went ahead
aud finished the operation. The upper
and lower jaw was found to be united
by membrane, and when this was cut
it was found that the child could use
them quite naturally. An examination
of the cavity showed that the little one
had no palate, and that its tongue was
almost set back in the throat. The child
is doing well and will probably survive.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking of of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, as
well as relieving the burden of home
manufacturers. Especially is this the
case with Green's august FloVer and
Boschee's German Syrup, as the reduction
of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been
added to increase the size of the bottles
containing these remedies, thereby Civ
ing one-tifth more medicine in the 10
cent size. The August Flower for Dys-
pepsia and Liver Complaint, and the
German Syrup for Cough aud Lung
troubles, have, perhaps, the largest sale
of any medicines in the world. The adj
vantage of increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick
and afflicted, in every town and village
in civilized countries. Sample bottles
for 10 cents remain the same size.
